Introduction to the Wailing Wall: The Western/Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall, is a section of the second temple protective wall in the ancient Jewish state of the Old City of Jerusalem, and is also the only remaining site of the second temple protective wall. , about 50 meters long and 18 meters high, made of large rocks. Judaism regards the wall as the first holiest site, and believers must mourn when visiting the wall to express their condolences for the ancient temple and look forward to its restoration. For thousands of years, when Jews living in various corners of the world returned to the holy city of Jerusalem, they would come to this stone wall to pray quietly and cry out about the pain of exile, so it was called the "Wailing Wall."
There are differences between men and women when praying. Men must wear traditional hats before entering the square, and paper hats are available for borrowing at the entrance. Women do not need to cover their heads, but after praying they must face the Wailing Wall and exit the prayer area step by step as a sign of respect.
